John Dramani Mahama, the presidential candidate of the National Democratic Congress (NDC), has reassured Ghanaians that the main opposition party will not engage in actions that could jeopardize the country’s peace. He emphasized that the peace and tranquillity of Ghana are more important to him than anything else. Mr. Mahama urged all stakeholders involved in the elections to conduct themselves in a manner that promotes peace in the lead-up to the polls.
He says Ghana has always been the envy of many countries due to the peaceful nature of the country hence that accolade must be destroyed. Ghanaians go to the polls on December 7 to elect a president and members of Parliament to steer the affairs of the country for the next four years starting January 7, 2025.
In a Facebook post, the former president said “My brothers and sisters in the Lord, Ghana is known for its peaceful religious coexistence. We’ve always been the envy of many countries in our sub-region where peace has eluded them. “As we approach the elections, we should never forget that peace is fragile. Like an egg, once it is cracked, it cannot be put together again without the scars showing.
We must never again unleash fatal violence on our people at polling stations, peacefully expressing their democratic rights to choose their leaders.” He added “The peace and tranquillity of our country mean more to me than anything else. I solemnly commit to you that the party I lead will do all in our power to preserve the peace of our dear nation, Ghana.”
